Its characteristic cylindrical, pointed, bright green leaves are reminiscent of pine trees, hence its common name of miniature pine. The white flowers appear in clusters that turn orange as they fade. They flower in spring.
It is used for growing in pots, as they can become invasive in the ground.
It is a very easy to grow plant that needs full sun or partial shade. It is drought resistant and can tolerate short, occasional frosts.
It is not a soil demanding plant and a slightly fertile but very well drained soil is sufficient.
It should be watered moderately, allowing the soil to dry out well and hardly watered at all in winter.
It is not a plant that needs pruning, but it is advisable to remove withered flowers and damaged stems.
It is enough to fertilise once a year in spring with some compost or organic fertiliser.
It is a plant that is usually resistant to garden pests and diseases but fears over-watering.
They are propagated from seeds sown in spring and by stem or leaf cuttings at the same time.
